About

Molly Groendyke Enos is a licensed Architect in California, Indiana, and Hawaii, with international perspective and a unique engagement in contemporary art practice. She has been working on her own as a sole proprietor at Ens_Projects and Director of The Periscope Project. As such, she progressively serves to compliment the greater public as an avid community member, advocate, and mentor for the professional development of young women. Formerly trained in Business Administration and Architecture (B.A. ‘02, M.Arch ‘05), Molly has excelled in merging the macro-political, subjectively aesthetic, and functional organization tenants required to transcend a modern client-service model.

Prior to licensure, Molly was fortunate to gain valuable industry experience working with Petar Perisic, Thom Mayne, and Jack Smyer. She has coupled together their respective strengths and lessons, spanning small-scale, high-quality community based design, the progressive use of technology, and a simple approach towards environmental systems and sustainability.

Her community leadership is wide and impactful. Molly is active in several committee groups and currently serve as a voting member of AIA San Diego’s Urban Design Committee, where she frequently presents her research regarding bottom-modes of community engagement in respect to municipal redevelopment agencies and neighborhood empowerment, and of which she recently spoke at TEDx San Diego. She is also a Subject Matter Expert for the California Architects Board CSE Exam Development Workshop and member of MCASD’s Think Tank.

Molly is prominent and emerging figure in Southern California’s design, art, and architecture communities. She currently is working on a handful of historic preservation, and adaptive reuse projects in San Diego’s East Village.

A 501c3 committed to the nexus of art, architecture, and regional urban issues. Plainly, The Periscope Project is a non-profit organization consisting of a core group of educators, advocates, and community members energized to progress experiments in alternative development, public education, and cultural practices as viable agents for the production of urban-spatial pedagogies.
